Halco EMG-EXC-WH-RG, EMG-EXC-WH-RG-RC Installation guide

  • Hello! I'm a chat assistant that has carefully reviewed the installation instructions for the Halco EMG-EXC, C5U and C5U-RC exit signs. I understand its mounting options, safety guidelines, battery backup feature and its ability to switch between red and green light. Feel free to ask me any questions you have about the device or the installation process.
  • What should I do before installation?
    How often should the battery be tested?
    What is the maximum mounting height for the C5U model?
    How can I change the sign color from red to green?
